    I found it odd that Wlad fans were screaming for Okolie to get DQ'd against Askins, but didn't have the same energy with Klitschko/Povetkin. Hmm I wonder why they were so inconsistent.

    Stopped early?

    Povetkin's corner wanted it to be stopped earlier.

    At least Okoile paid the price for his fouling since he won't feature on another PPV undercard for the foreseeable future.

    Joshua is not used to fighting guys under 6'3 or around 6'2 in the slightest.

    In fact he had Martin Bakole as his main sparring partner the guy who just lost to Hunter......

    If Joshua gets the RIGHT sparring partners he absolutely looks far better,but he defeated a very motivated Povetkin anyway in his 22nd fight.

    The second he saw a hole the fight was done.hes the best finisher in the past 20 years ..end game....

    End thread! :ambulance:

    Wlad and povetkin are probably technically better than any other fighter in the top 20 of the heavyweight division. So by all means highlight the good things they did against Joshua but don't take it for granted that cuz they can do it anybody can do it.

    Joshua may as well have been fighting a 60 year old war veteran amputee after Price already softened Povetkin up and gave him PSTD. Not to mention the ridiculous 7 inch reach advantage along with being 2 stone heavier 5 inches taller and being a decade younger.

    Povetkin really had no business winning a single round let alone being up on the scorecards.

    That just shows you Joshua's level.

    His cornerman was on the ropes begging for it to be stopped before it was waved off.

    Watch it again.

    Prime Povetkin KO's AJ quickly and cleanly.
    Prime Wlad KO's AJ quickly and cleanly.

    So his best two wins are only there because the opponent was old AF.

    Now can you honestly say prime Wlad beats Fury? Of course not. Fury embarrassed and confused the simple-minded Wlad, just as he would with the even simpler-minded AJ.

    Prime Povetkin wouldn't even land a glove on The Gypsy King.

    I sense you're trolling but survive the end of the round? Are you on crack? Povetkin was gone and further punishment would have resulted in likely serious permanent damage. The corner knew this, that's why they were waving it off during the 2nd KD! They obviously care about their fighter (why would they not) and didn't want to see him take any more.
